Can juicing reduce belly fat?

Can juices help you burn belly fat? Unfortunately, they don't. The body burns fat by using it for fuel, which often occurs when you work out more or eat the right kinds of foods on a regular, balanced schedule, Hultin says. So, simply drinking juice isn't going to burn fat.

If you’re trying to lose weight, you’ve likely done an overhaul of your diet. Whether you’re doing a keto diet or intermittent fasting or made other changes, what you eat and drink plays a huge role in getting you to your goals. One drink that’s become especially popular among people who want to lose weight is juice. But, what’s the best way to use juices for weight loss? We've got answers for ya. “The main way I'd use juice with a client is to boost hydration, vitamins, and minerals in their diet,” says Seattle-based registered nutritionist Ginger Hultin , RDN, owner of ChampagneNutrition and author of and . Juices can also be a great source of hydration and fiber, which makes it super filling, adds Amber Pankonin , RD, the owner of the food blog the Stirlist . A juice fast is not be the best way to go, though. “If you’re only consuming juice, the initial weight loss you might see on the scale is due to water loss and you will quickly gain this back if you go back to eating the way you did before,” says Pankonin. Instead, she recommends including juice within your calorie goal or diet and aim to lose one to two pounds per week.

Can juices help you burn belly fat?

Unfortunately, they don't. The body burns fat by using it for fuel, which often occurs when you work out more or eat the right kinds of foods on a regular, balanced schedule, Hultin says. So, simply drinking juice isn't going to burn fat. However, she points out that drinking juices does have other perks like improving nutrition and blood pressure or other markers of health.

Are homemade juices better than store-bought ones?

If you’re buying a juice off the shelf, there are a few things you need to look out for. “Store-bought juices can often be high in sugar and stripped of valuable nutrients like fiber and other phytochemicals,” says Pankonin. Juices made at home are often higher in fiber and you can control the amount of any added sugars or alternative sweeteners that you use, she adds. If you don't have time to make them yourself, Hutlin recommends looking for juices that are vegetable-based—think green juices, tomato, and other veggie juices. “These will generally be lower in calories, but still contain a lot of nutrients and hydration,” she says.
